intermittent reality

As the days go by, some days I’m so mature, and I can say without breaking down and crying, that this is it for mom. Other days I cry with EVERYTHING. Practically everything in my home, in her h...

losing mom is killing me more

It happened 2 weeks ago today. It was so fast I don’t even know how it started. To see the signs now makes me regret even more not acting faster. It is inevitable to retrace my steps and scream...

I have no words...

The past 2 months have been the longest of my life. My mom and I did everything together. We went grocery shopping together, and I was with her practically every day. Every morning she’d take ...

Coma

COMA It is 11:14. I can’t sleep; I don’t want to sleep. Maybe just maybe, out of pure exhaustion caused my not sleeping or eating well in days, I’d fall into a deep sleep. But then I’d wake up ...

Circles

Snooping

After going through therapy, I tried to close that dark blurry circle that was my first marriage. Part of the closure, was deleting my two stepsons from facebook, and cutting off contact. That ...


I haven’t slept for days, and I’m asking myself if I’m doing the right thing. Years ago, I thought I was in love with Edie, the person I was about to marry. He seemed so nice, talked in such a d...

Integrating

Chelsea started in a new school for 3rd grade this year. We decided to make the switch to public school. It wasn’t easy, and so many factors were involved. But in the end, we’re happy with the...


It is hard to admit, but it hasn’t all been fun and games. Way back when Adrian and I first moved in together, an ex sentimental and I were still communicating because he claimed he was having p...
